Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service is a new organisation created on the 1st April 2007 from the combination of Devon Fire and Rescue Service and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service. We have an exciting future ahead of us as one of the largest fire and rescue services in the United Kingdom delivering services to the 1.6 million residents, plus those that visit us, across our two counties.
All of our staff are committed to providing the best possible service to the communities we serve. In doing so our aim is to reduce the impact that fires and other emergencies have on people, property and the environment. Leading that effort is Chief Fire Officer Paul Young and his deputies Clive Kemp and Robert Fyfe.
